Abstract

OBJECTIVES

This study aimed to formulate experimental dental adhesives with alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromide-loaded titanium oxide nanotubes (ntTiO/ATAB) and evaluated their physicochemical properties, antimicrobial activity, mineral deposition, and cytotoxicity.

METHODS

ntTiO₂/ATAB was synthesized, characterized, and added into an experimental adhesive resin. The filler ntTiO₂/ATAB was added at 1, 2.5, and 5 wt% (G, G, G) in the adhesive. A control group (G) without ntTiO₂/ATAB was also prepared and used in all tests. The adhesives were analyzed for degree of conversion (DC%), softening in solvent, radiopacity, antibacterial activity against saliva-derived microcosm, mineral deposition capability, and cytotoxicity.

RESULTS

Analytical techniques, including TEM, FTIR, UV-Vis, and micro-Raman spectroscopy, confirmed the structure and chemical composition of the ntTiO₂/ATAB. A DC% over 60 % was observed for all groups, with no adverse impact on radiopacity or softening in solvent. Antibacterial testing indicated that increasing ntTiO₂/ATAB concentration led to reduced colony-forming units of critical microorganisms, with this effect sustained over a one-year aging period. Mineral deposition tests showed enhanced phosphate presence over the samples with higher ntTiO₂/ATAB concentrations. There were no statistical differences in human cell viability among groups.

SIGNIFICANCE

The dental adhesives formulated with ntTiO/ATAB demonstrated suitable physical and chemical properties, including reliable bond strength to dentin previously tested. They also exhibited antibacterial effects against caries-related microorganisms even after aging, promoted bioactivity through mineral deposition, and showed no cytotoxicity against human cells. These adhesives represent a promising strategy to assist in reducing the risk of recurrent caries and preserve the material-dentin interface properties over time.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在制备含烷基三甲基溴化铵负载二氧化钛纳米管（ntTiO/ATAB）的实验性牙科胶粘剂，并评估其物理化学性质、抗菌活性、矿物质沉积和细胞毒性。

方法

合成并表征了ntTiO₂/ATAB，然后将其添加到实验性胶粘剂树脂中。在胶粘剂中分别添加1 wt%、2.5 wt%和5 wt%的填料ntTiO₂/ATAB（G1、G2、G3组）。还制备了不含ntTiO₂/ATAB的对照组（G0组）并用于所有测试。对胶粘剂进行转化率（DC%）、在溶剂中的软化程度、射线不透性、对唾液来源微生物群落的抗菌活性、矿物质沉积能力和细胞毒性分析。

结果

包括透射电子显微镜（TEM）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、紫外可见光谱（UV-Vis）和显微拉曼光谱在内的分析技术证实了ntTiO₂/ATAB的结构和化学成分。所有组的DC%均超过60%，对射线不透性或在溶剂中的软化没有不利影响。抗菌测试表明，增加ntTiO₂/ATAB浓度会导致关键微生物的菌落形成单位减少，这种效果在一年的老化期内持续存在。矿物质沉积测试表明，ntTiO₂/ATAB浓度较高的样品中磷酸盐含量增加。各组之间人体细胞活力无统计学差异。

意义

用ntTiO/ATAB配制的牙科胶粘剂表现出合适的物理和化学性质，包括先前测试的与牙本质可靠的粘结强度。它们即使在老化后也对与龋齿相关的微生物具有抗菌作用，通过矿物质沉积促进生物活性，并且对人体细胞无细胞毒性。这些胶粘剂是一种有前景的策略，有助于降低继发龋的风险，并随着时间的推移保持材料-牙本质界面的性能。
